Karate!

I'm going out of order now, putting up a current event before catching up on the past.  I hope you can all forgive me.  ;)  Christopher did his first belt testing in karate yesterday and moved up from white belt to 'high-white' belt (they add a black stripe).  He was so excited!  And he looks really cute too:

He's wearing the new belt and holding the old one.  They earn stripes on the ends of the belts for getting notes from home and friends for service, and for passing off different forms they learn.  We're going to take a little break for a couple of months as school starts and we get settled back in to that routine, but then we'll pick it back up again.  I need to see how the schedule shakes out between his school, me teaching 5 classes at my school, and the soccer team we signed up for several months ago before we went back to karate!  This kid has definitely got the energy for all of that - I just need to see if I do!  :)
